Walking in Las Vegas

snap snap ... sort of...

I don't know how to write the sound,
it is the sound of flicking paper.

Up and down the strip peddlers of pamphlets flick
the paper to draw attention as they reach in front of
male walkers.
It doesn't matter if the man is walking with a woman.

Yellow newsstands, you know, those metal ones,
in rows of six,
sometimes white stands with spaces for
six publications per-stand,
on either end of the yellow ones.
For example, across from the LVC,
slots for sixteen different pamphlets.
But, prostitution is not legal in the city.
